18 Tex. 33

State v. Lopez

Texas Supreme Court

Decided July 1, 1856

Texas Supreme Court · decided 1856-07-01

Tried below before the Hon. Thomas H. Duval, Indictment for gaming with cards at a public place.

Decided 1856-07-01

Wheeler, J.

¶1The indictment charges the playing to have been at a “ public place,” in the words of the statute ; and that is sufficient as respects the locus in quo. (Hart. Dig. Art. 1474; Prior v. The State, 4 Tex. R. 383.) The Court therefore erred in quashing the indictment: for which the judgment must be reversed, and the case remanded for further proceedings.

¶2Reversed and remanded.
